Welcome to the Shrine

A place of healing and hope; the National Shrine of Our Lady of the Snows is perched on a picturesque bluff of 200 manicured acres in Belleville, Illinois. We invite all people to experience the richness of the Catholic faith through the dynamic preaching of the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate. Masses, Reconciliation and special Devotional Services are available in both English and Spanish.

While the Shrine honors the Catholic tradition, the Oblates invite people of all faiths and abilities to enhance their relationship with God through our engaging spiritual programs, conferences and workshops. For those seeking to connect with God through nature, there are miles of walking paths and devotional sites on the property with a full-service restaurant and hotel to feed the body and rest the soul.
